A menu change on top of v1.1.3: settings that only apply after a restart now say so in red, and changing one shows a RESTART REQUIRED banner.
v1.1.4 - 2026-09-28
Changed - settings that need a restart say so plainly
Settings that only apply when the game starts (the window, the resolution,
the internal resolution and a few others) were marked with a small
"restart required" beside them, easy to miss. They now say
takes effect after a restart in bright red, and changing one puts a red
RESTART REQUIRED banner at the top of the menu, saying the change is
saved and applies once the game is started again. The note at the bottom
of the menu is red too.
Several of those settings - Monitor, Resolution, Frame rate, Internal
resolution, Sharpening - showed no mark at all: it was drawn past the edge
of their row and cut off. It now sits under the setting when it does not fit
beside it.
Installing: unzip and run ng2.exe. You supply your own disc rip in game\ - no game data is included or
distributed here. A GPU with Direct3D 12 is required.
Upgrading: unzip over your existing install, or use the in-game updater. Settings, saves and texture packs are
untouched. An old rexgpu-xenos.dll left in the folder is no longer loaded and can be deleted.
